Get directionsPeninsula at Newport, Shelter Cove, Hilton Head Island
Sixteen gated townhomes on the Newport peninsula in Broad Creek, with garages and creek views: an owners’ enclave, not a rental building.
- Townhomes: 16
- Parking: garages or carports
- On site: pool and tennis court
- Vacation rentals: not allowed
The Peninsula at Newport is a group of 16 townhomes at 10 Newport Drive, behind the same gates off Shelter Cove Lane as Newport Villas, on the small peninsula in Broad Creek behind the Shelter Cove Towne Centre on Hilton Head Island.
Like Newport, it is sold as Palmetto Dunes and Shelter Cove both, and its owners share the Palmetto Dunes amenities. This building doesn’t allow short-term vacation rentals, so we list it for completeness and for buyers. For a week’s stay, look at the Shelter Cove rentals on the harbour instead.
The Townhomes
The townhomes have garage or carport parking and look toward Broad Creek. Some have a private elevator between the ground floor and the living floors above, and a few add a fourth-floor loft. There is a community pool and a tennis court.
Renting and Owning
Short-term vacation rentals are not allowed here, and neither are pets, so the Peninsula is a place to own and live rather than to rent for a week. Owners pay the Palmetto Dunes property owners’ fee along with their own association’s, which brings the Palmetto Dunes beach, golf, tennis and the seasonal Dunes Buggy shuttle.
